Soybean Harvest

This year's soybean crop has been a pill to get out of the field and into the hopper. Rain chances continue on weekly, if not daily, and the crop requires at least a 3 day drying period after a rain to begin harvest. However, here is a bit of video taken last week of one of the few days we've been able to harvest!!!

Hello friends and fans, Ol'Dirty Possum here again showing off a CBG. This video features our 2nd or 3rd CBG ever built. This tasty little bit is tuned like the bottom three strings of a banjo--featuring electric guitar strings, a red oak neck, brass hardware, and cheap wooden bridge and nut--this piezoelectrified jewl screams CBG. This proto-guitar helped us here at LNS Lutherie to get the hang of building, and we wanted to foward this along to you. ENJOY!
